For those of you that have yearned for a Basenji in a larger size, your wait is over! Brutus is not overweight -- he is just a really big, 41 pound boy described by his foster as calm, easy-going and endearing. This guy's early years were spent outside. After time in foster care indoors he says he much prefers living indoors with a dog door to go out when he wants or needs to. He will need adequate shade outdoors to keep his keratosis in check. He prefers to be indoors, with his people, and is very happy to curl up at your feet or to join you on the couch.

Eros will be an extraordinary companion for a basenji-savvy family who can appreciate his strong will. He is a great exercise companion. He hikes and runs well on leash; but he loves being off even more (in an enclosed space, of course)! On hikes he stays close at hand and returns with a whistle. At dog parks he checks back often and seems to really enjoy running with the other beasts.

Simon and Sphinx, while not littermates, are bonded "brothers." They have been together since they were puppies and must be placed together. They pine for each other if separated. If you are looking for two really sweet and handsome basenjis, this is the pair for you! Simon is more laid back and Sphinx is the curious lap dog—he will cuddle on the couch while Simon will stretch out on the floor nearby. The boys pull like a team of sled dogs, have a high prey drive and will go after small rodents. However, they have behaved like gentlemen in their foster home with the resident small dogs, and will continue to make good strides with training and reinforcement.

New Available BRATs: Sharm, Straun, and Sparky in KY

Names: Sharm & Straun
Dog State: Kentucky
DOB: 2009? 2010?
Gender: Males
Color: Red & white
Weight: 20.1 & 21.1, respectively


Sharm and Straun were rescued from the streets in a city neighborhood. Although many efforts were made to locate their owners, no one ever came forward to claim the boys. They are typical Basenji boys, looking and acting much more like puppies than two-year-olds (based on the vet's estimate). Both boys love toys and they love nothing better than to romp and play all over the house and yard.

DOB: 9/7/2010
Gender: Male

Sparky is a beautiful, active one year-old male. He is very friendly. His little tail shakes almost continuously. The happier he is, the more his tail tends to curl. When he shakes it, he shakes so vigorously that it is almost straight. He will bounce on furniture and run through the house, light on his feet, recalling that cat-like characteristic of Basenjis. When he is no longer being rubbed or petted, he will rub his eyes, asking for more.
